Do512’s Summer Series: Sound & Cinema

It’s been quite the summer so far..

We kicked off the season with an unforgettable midsummer nights series with Do512.

Each Wednesday in July & August we gathered on the lawn of the city’s best sunset spot for a night of film, fun, and live music.

Our friends over at Alamo Drafthouse brought in an outdoor movie theater to the Long Center lawn that stretched out overlooking the fine cityscape that we all know and love. Each week kicked off with food trucks, cocktails, and a whole lot of family fun before leading into a different genre pairing of a local musician + a classic film.

We started off with “Wayne’s World” showcasing the rockin’ Billy King & The Bad Bad Bad and moved into the second week with “Grease” featuring the smooth vibes of Huggy & The Feel Goodz.

After that we moved into a little more upbeat action with “Mean Girls” kicking off the night with the sounds of Go Fever and finished off the summer nights series with “O Brother Where Art Thou” and some Texas country punk with Rattlesnake Milk.

Our Wednesdays have been filled with puppy dogs, snow cones, whiskey cocktails and some killer Austin sunsets. It was an honor to be a part of such a community driven experience. Major shoutout to all the Texas brands who helped bring this all to life. We cannot wait for next year!

Recently, we gathered as a team to collect water.

As I’m sure you know, one of the main ingredients in our fine whiskey is limestone filtered, Texas Hill Country spring water.

We traveled about 60 miles west of Austin city limits to our ranch in Mason, Texas.

We brought steak, music, and a whole lot of whiskey.

The first night we all gathered together under the stars to listen to a little bit of live music. After all, it wouldn’t be a Nine Banded get together without some guitars.. One of our favorite Austin musicians, Tony Kamel, joined us to play alongside one of our very own, Aaron Beavers.

We shared a lot of laughs, a little whiskey, and enjoyed the sweet sounds of the guitar strings.

The next morning we all went out to the spring to collect water to bring back to our distillery. We loaded up the truck with the freshest water one could possibly imagine to fulfill one of our largest orders to date.

It was a full weekend of fishing, fun and debauchery.

If you haven’t gotten to know our Nine Banded Whiskey team yet, you will surely want to.. We are an eclectic group of crazy & kind individuals who know how to have a really good time. Each and every single one of us play our part in making this company so special.

We’re all pretty different from one another, but that’s the magic of it.

That’s exactly what we stand for – the coming together of all kinds of folks to have a good time. At the root of it all, we are a team.. and a damn good one.
